The PuhB Protein of Rhodobacter capsulatus Functions in Photosynthetic Reaction Center Assembly with a Secondary Effect on Light-Harvesting Complex 1

Abstract: The core of the photosynthetic apparatus of purple photosynthetic bacteria such as Rhodobacter capsulatus consists of a reaction center (RC) intimately associated with light-harvesting complex 1 (LH1) and the PufX polypeptide. The abundance of the RC and LH1 components was previously shown to depend on the product of the puhB gene (formerly known as orf214). We report here that disruption of puhB diminishes RC assembly, with an indirect effect on LH1 assembly, and reduces the amount of PufX. Under semiaerobic … Show more

“…The rapidity with which fbcQ transcription falls off is to be contrasted with the more moderate decreases observed for fbcB, suggesting that the Q subunit is not essential for the aerobic functioning of the bc 1 complex. The result is consistent with previous studies showing that fbcQ is not expressed under highly aerated conditions and a After R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 was grown anaerobically by sparging it with 95% N 2 -5% CO 2 in the light (10 W/m 2 ) to an OD 600 of 0.086, the growth conditions were shifted to aerobic-dark by sparging with 69% N 2 -30% O 2 -1% CO 2 .…”

“…E. coli MM39, a kind gift of J. Beckwith, was used for the TOXCAT system (Russ and Engelman 1999). Plasmids pTB999, pTPR9, pTPR8, pMA10, pStu I, pcc-KAN, pccTNM, pccGpAwt, and pccGpA83I have been described previously (Klug and Cohen 1988;Zilsel et al 1989;Richter and Drews 1991;Russ and Engelman 1999;Aklujkar et al 2005a). These bacterial strains and plasmids, and others constructed in this study, are listed in Table 1.…”
